Hung Hom, Hong Kong, is a neighbourhood of contrasts. While citizens annually visit its temple of Kwun Yum to seek wealth by praying for a ‘loan’ from the deity’s legendary treasury, locals peddle their secondhand goods at a flea market and elderly people rummage through rubbish on the streets in hopes of finding recyclable materials. Five years in the making, this documentary by Wong reveals how our waste is never truly discarded, but often processed into something of value for others. Its fantastic score (by composer Olivier Cong) brings an unnatural quality to the shocking realities of class imbalance and gentrification. The film premiered at Rotterdam in the ‘Harbour’ section.
